On the same day, AS Monaco will host Maccabi Tel-Aviv in the Euroleague, while 24 hours later ASVEL Villeurbanne will welcome Bayern Munich. This means that players like Mike James, Donta Hall, or Elie Okobo will miss out on the All-Star Game if the event isn't postponed by the LNB.

The date of the All-Star game was set a year ago, without taking into account the dates of EuroLeague games since the calendar was unveiled in July.

The selection of players to participate in the All-Star Game will be announced on Friday, November 25. Per L'Equipe, the LNB ensures having discussed with the two clubs to find a solution.

Per the same outlet, the EuroLeague has declined Monaco's request to move their game vs Maccabi to December 30. Not deterred in the least bit, the administration of the Roca Team has sent another request for postponement.
